It's good to be back here.

As you can see by the date of my last post, it's been a while. The last few months have been rough going; a string of family problems that just seemed endless. I should have updated the blog - at least given a sign of life - but the time got away from me. The good news is that at the end everybody is fine. A special thanks to those who checked up on me during my absence.

Now that things are returning to normal, I'm trying to get back into my routine of doing one or two small paintings every week to post here. I thought I'd get started with a little painting I've been wanting to do for a while; a small luminous orange against a black background.

The effect of reflecting light in your paintings is beautiful. You've captured the texture of the orange perfectly. Thanks.
